Random micro stutters regulary since big update.

[misty holly]

Started playing the normal version (before maiden voyage) some days ago. All was running smooth. Since the big Update the game regulary has micro stutters/ lags. Even if I decrease Texture/ Lightning etc quality.

im experiancing the same stutters / lagging

[true nova]

I have got the same issues after update

[visual nymph]

Yeah, this seems to happen at random, and when I'm travelling from one region to another.

[misty holly]

Edit: I splitted the saved folder due to upload restrictions. Hope this helps- If you need anything let me know.

[digital karma]

hopefully this gets fixed, its so annoying, and game breaking during combat.

[misty holly]

I agree man. This game is sooo good. But performance is a bummer.

[digital karma]

I verified my game files and that has seemed to help!

not fix but help

[misty holly]

what do you mean? help in which way?

[orchid pawn]

we are testing a fix for this or similar issue on preview branch

will be deployed to public early next week if everything goes well

[misty holly]

Sounds great! If you need any more info with saves or whatever I d be glad to help.
If this patch fixes performance I d be soo happy. I m in love with that game. Performance is basically my only relevant complain.

[digital karma]

Heck yeah! The lagging came back after a bit of playing

[digital karma]

The lagging came back after I played for 2 hours

[misty holly]

Oh I want to add smth: The problem which I described happens randomly.

But there is also another lag which happens systematically: **Everytime ** after I killed the last of an enemy group (humans / animals) I get the same short lag for like 1 sec. This also happens when enemies stop aggro and run away(a fight ends)
Hope this helps.

[orchid pawn]

yep, that's definitely the issue that is fixed on preview branch

[misty holly]

Thats great. You think its related to the random lags?
I know random issues are harder to identify than systematic. But could be smth like memory dump. I don t know.

[orchid pawn]

if you want - you could switch to preview branch and test the fix, see if it fully solved the problem for you

#⚡preview-branch message that's instructions on how to do that
